1) I was confronted by a malicious entity on my first experience. Definitely wasn't a part of "me". Told if to fuck off and it went away though.

Details por favor?

It was towards the end of the experience after alot of other stuff had happened. I was completely present, in what i believe to be "astral space" (kinda like being inside a psychedelic lava lamp). I was just observing what was infront of me, all this bright colour and moving "stuff", then this mass of black squiggily lines popped into my "visual field" and began to encroach upon my space. I didn't feel threatened, i was having a fucking blast (!) up until that point, but its presence was "evil"/bad and i immediately knew it to not be of myself. Without thinking i told it to fuck right off, and it receeded back out of my space.

For this reason i feel slightly uneasy about Terence McKennas accounts of letting the "elves" jump in and out of his body. Fact is, we DON'T know what the fuck that space is, and it definitely has life in it.. and some of it may not be friendly.

Maybe the squiggly lines were a negative aspect of your subconscious, or a dormant memory, etc - when it encroached on your conscious, you told it to leave and it did, because you OWNED it, but the experiences are ultimately subjective.

I agree with you on McKenna, I never understood the fascination with him, thanks for sharing!
